Jury work
by Florence Devouard 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Hello guys I wanted to give you a head-up with regards to next steps in the Wiki Loves Africa contest. We have convinced 7 people to help us :) Only one lady :( You probably know 4 of them, as wikimedians. The 3 others being non wikimedians. I copy paste a bit of presentation about them at the bottom of this email. What is planned is that in the next 3-4 weeks, our wikimedians jury-members will look at the images uploaded and make a preselection of their favorites. The preselection will then be looked upon by the 7 members of the jury. Link to the pictures: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Africa_2… I hope you can help identifying the best images as well. I am sure your help would be welcome if you are interested. Flo --------- Mike Peel Mike is a postdoctoral Researcher at Jodrell Bank as well as an astronomer and a wikipedian.

This is a fantastic idea. Especially after Raphael and team's incredibly successful Kumusha Bus in Ghana this past weekend. I'm told there is a thriving open community in Ghana that's looking for more opportunities to connect and grow!

Re: [African Wikimedians] 4. Re: Afripédia Douala (Nkansah Rexford) Akan wikipedia
by Ingo Koll 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Nkansah, to build up a small wikipedia I would not go to translate from English version. Many articles in big wikipedias like English, German have grown to an extent that only part of readers will read all. If you go to translate these very long and often complicated articles you have a higher risk that your language will be less AKAN than English put in Akan words. Different languages have different structures of thought and expression. I sometimes sit long time trying to find a Swahili noun for an English one till I remember that in Swahili we use far less nouns but say it differently with a verbal expression. Short entries with basic information are just fine. And less tiring for you who tries to build a base. I often take the simple:Wikipedia entry as a basis (if it makes sense...), open some other language versions I can read and see how they start the explanation and then put it into Swahili. So less translating but let yourself be inspired by the choice and structure of information about topics. And then boil it down to what you think readers in your environment and culture should know first. Referencing I often (mostly) do by copying the ref-sections from English because for East African readers who are looking for referecing English is the language of choice if there is no Swahili literature (as it is most of the time). What Akan standard to use? No idea! (just a quote by Martin Luther: Pecca fortiter! -dare to sin-) Cheers Kipala - Ingo Message: 4 Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2014 21:59:23 +0000 From: Nkansah Rexford <nkansahrexford(a)gmail.com> In the case of the Akan language, there're many speakers. And many schools teach the language, how to write and speak from primary schools to even sometimes senior high school. I, myself, can go back to writing articles onto the Akan Wikipedia. What I ask myself sometimes is that, "Will I have to translate the english versions for whatever article I wanna write to Akan? How will I provide referencing for the articles I write in Akan? What is the standardized Akan language to use?" I have lots of interest in improving the Akan Wikipedia, and I'm gonna fix it in my workflow and help improve it. Because, Why not? Thanks for suggestions.

Afripédia Douala
by Kasper Souren 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

In 2005 I did some work on Wikipedia in African languages, mainly Bambara and Peul. A couple of months ago I was asked to go to Madagascar and provide training as part of the Afripedia project. Currently I'm in Douala, Cameroon for a 3 day session that will gather people from previous Afripédia sessions. Our main focus will be to find way to create sustainable communities of editors. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projet:Afripédia/Formation_Douala_2

Fwd: Project in Africa: Re: Afripédia Douala
by Florence Devouard 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

Wiki Loves Africa: It is still too early to give a full feedback on what worked, what did not work, what was painful, what was nicely unexpected since the project is not over yet. But I would like to share a few quick thoughts with regards to the question of "who can undertake the organization of a project" :) 1. I think it is much easier for participants to the project when a structure can carry it from an administrative point of view because it can take the burden of admin/financial tasks off the shoulders of those interested to help, but not interested to do the paperwork 2. I actually also think it is safer from a financial risk management point of view :) 3. The contest took way more time and energy I would expect it would take. I come out of it with a brand new and strong respect for the organizers of Wiki Loves Monuments ! The number of volunteers in Africa is not unlimited and the amount of practical support we got out of Africa was not much (for example, Wikimedia France refused to relay the press releases. For example, The SignPost did not care to even write a line to talk about the contest. We were just ignored). As such... the load is heavy for those involved. Wiki Loves Monuments currently works in a more distributed manner (organized in large part per country), but in most cases, the country features a chapter or at least a developped user group. This is not what we have. In a few countries, we have a chapter and a small official user group. In most countries, we have at best one person. So I am rather little convinced that a model where groups of 1-5 people, in 10 different african countries, would request a grant from WMF and handle things from A to Z in their country, would actually work. But we will collect feedbacks on that matter after the contest is over to see what would be the best option for next year :) 4. Last... probably more than in other places in the world, we got official rubber stamping requests. For example, a "non wikimedian" jury member asked us official statement to describe what the contest is about, how it is run, what is expected from jury members and so on. For example, a potential local partner asked for an official document proving that Samuel was indeed in charge of facilitating the contest locally. This is typically one of the reasons why chapters were created in the first place. Often, external organizations are reassured when we show business cards, official paper letter, signatures and so on. And they prefer to send money to a bank rather than a paypal account. And they prefer providing gifts to a brick and mortar association rather than sending the gifts to a po box. So yes... it takes a group to take initiative to organize it. And we had this group this year. It was wonderful. I hope to see even more people to get in the boat next year (globally or locally). But just as I like Wikimedia France to be a "support" structure in France for the Wiki Cheese project, I think we need a "support" structure for WLA. And Africa Center does that. Cheers Flo PS: gosh, I am glad this list is alive !!!!

Would it be okay if people post messages in French on this list? I would like to invite all participants of the current Afripedia session in Douala but many of them don't write English well enough to participate actively. Cheers, Kasper

Re: [African Wikimedians] African-Wikimedians Digest, Kasper Souren , African languages
by Ingo Koll 01 Dec '14

Kasper, I am on sw-wikipedia. At wikiindaba in Joburg I gave an overview about African language wikipedias. Cf https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fd/African_language_Wikipe… There are 6 with more than 10.000 entries. Of these Malagasy and Yoruba have lots of fake content, their statistical numbers hide a lot of empty shells. The small but fairly solid one is Afrikaans, Swahili a bit shaky but not doing badly. Amharic has a lot of chances (but hampered by very poor internet access in Ethiopia). Masri I have no judgement...... Somali, although hardly existing, also has a good chance once there is a bit of peace (fantastic viewer share amongst ALWs). You wrote about workshops for West African languages. I am cautious. These tiny wikipedias need content for casual users to join in. My impression of wikiindaba (my first Wikimedia meeting ever) was: lots of people who like conferences, to communicate and organize but do not produce content. Few producers. A workshop (especially if you pay the participants and the participants are not paying you) CAN be a starter for a language but if it does not take off afterwards you probably will not force it by repeats. East African SW-experience was similar. Great workshops in Kenya, lots of material produced when there was an incentive (google promised some laptops fo winners of an article writing competition), lots of lousy Swahili uploaded (horrible google-translate stuff), and after the competetion: quiet. Very, very few who registered for competition ever showed up again. If - only rarely. If there is a need to have a Wikipedia in a language it will come. I think it is worthwhile to prepare structures and starter sets online for people to kick in. But no amount of workshops etc. will overcome lack of internet access, inability to read and write a widely spoken language, and the contempt for own culture.

It seems WikiAfrica has mainly been about the English Wikipedia and Afripédia is almost only about the French Wikipedia. How many people on this list speak French? How many have contributed to French language projects? And then there is the question of African languages. Personally I think this is where Africa can gain most. How many of you have contributed in African languages? Which languages Any obstacles?
